food IS a theme park
Did you know that Disney World is getting a NEW attraction?
Dumbo
No, we’re not talking about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, although we love keeping track of the ride’s construction. We’re actually talking about a new attraction coming to Magic Kingdom that will have you sniffing your way around Storybook Circus. Well, we’ve got a new update on that attraction!
It’s a very busy season for the international Disney parks!

Last year, Hong Kong Disneyland got a brand-new Frozen-themed land, and in June 2024, Tokyo DisneySea is getting the highly-anticipated Fantasy Springs expansion. Shanghai Disney Resort got a new Zootopia land in 2023 as well, but now, the resort is getting even more additions!
There are changes coming to Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We’re here to make sure that you’ve got all the information you need to help you with planning your Disney World trip. This particular weekend has some changes that are coming for a specific RANDOM reason, and you have to know about it. Let’s talk about it!
Planning a Disney World trip can be hard enough without having to expect the unexpected.
Everyone tends to head for the BIG rides at rope drop.
That’s why we always do our best to make sure you’re prepared. You’ve probably already secured your park tickets and dining reservations, and maybe you’ve even decided which special extras you’re going to experience while you’re on your trip. But, if you’re planning on rope-dropping Disney World this weekend, it’s going to be DIFFERENT — here’s why.
Things are always changing in Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
Rides close. New rides get built. Entire lands get reimagined. New foods pop up ALL the time (our FAVE new things, obviously). But even from day to day, things can change, like hours for showtimes, parades, and even rides. Well, there’s a big change coming up with one ride in Disney World that we need to warn you about.
We’ve been impatiently watching construction on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom for what feels like forever.

Okay, it’s only technically been about a year, but we’ve enjoyed watching progress on the new ride, like seeing the water tower going up and seeing all the new additions being added regularly. Well, on February 18th, we saw something HUGE happening on the ride, and we have to share it with you: WATER is flowing through Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. WATER, PEOPLE!!!
We’ve got a short list of Disney rides that are TOTAL must-dos for us.
Soarin’ Over California
Many rides are classic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean (that SMELL alone gives us nostalgic feels). Haunted Mansion is also a no-brainer for us because the special effects in that attraction STILL make us happy. We will also make time to hop on Soarin’ despite the fact if you’re not sitting right in the center, the Eiffel Tower looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But we’ve got some good news, Soarin’ Over California is set to return soon in Disney California Adventure!
Okay, we have to admit it — Happily Ever After is probably one of our favorite fireworks shows EVER.
Happily Ever After
This special fireworks show that happens nightly (well, on MOST nights, that is) is a do-not-miss event, for sure. But with a Happily Ever After viewing comes a BIG problem, especially if you’re watching from Main Street, U.S.A. That problem is CROWDS, and even when the park isn’t super busy, you’ll deal with a lot of people. But we’ve got a WAY better way to see Happily Ever After and you’re going to want to try it next time you’re in Magic Kingdom.
Imagine this: you’ve planned the perfect Disney World vacation.
The last thing you want to do is get sick in Disney World because of a ride
You’ve picked out the BEST hotel to stay at for you and your group. You’ve got your park tickets. You’ve scanned into the park, and you’re ready to ride some rides. Well, maybe you ride something a little too extreme and then end up feeling sick for the rest of the day. It’s the WORST, and believe us, it’s happened to EVERYONE, but we’re going to help you avoid those rides that tend to make people sick.
Disney World has announced quite a few projects in recent years!
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Some of those projects are currently underway (like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure), while we’re still waiting on updates for others (we’re looking at you, PLAY! Pavilion). And in Magic Kingdom, there’s one project that was announced…but we’re still waiting to hear more! Honestly, this one has us intrigued.
